Users should switch to plain qemu releases. To avoid breaking scenarios which are setup with command line options specific to qemu-kvm, port these switches from qemu-kvm to qemu.git. Port drive boot option. From the qemu-kvm original commit message: We do not want to maintain this option forever. It will be removed after a grace period of a few releases. So warn the user that this option has no effect and will become invalid soon.
